Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 2025

At Qbix, we prioritize your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data across all our services, including mobile apps, web applications, Telegram Mini Apps, embedded widgets, iframes, API integrations, and third-party services. This unified policy incorporates and updates provisions from prior Qbix policies, including the legacy version at https://qbix.com/privacy.

1. Scope and Relationship to Other Policies

This Privacy Policy applies to all Qbix-powered platforms, including web-based services, native apps, hybrid apps (Cordova), Telegram Mini Apps, Qbix-powered community hosts, and third-party integrations.

This document replaces and unifies all previous Qbix privacy policies, ensuring transparency and consistency across all Qbix services and deployment environments.

Your use of Qbix services is also subject to our Terms of Service.

2. What Data We Collect

We collect different types of data depending on how you interact with our services:

  • 📣 Public Content: Content explicitly submitted for public access (e.g., posts, comments, videos, public profiles, forum contributions). Public Content may be displayed, indexed, translated, remixed, and redistributed by Qbix-powered systems.
  • 🔒 Controlled Content: Non-public content you share with specific audiences (e.g., private groups, restricted posts, internal community discussions). Access is controlled by community or stream permissions.
  • 👁 Private Data: Messages, contacts, local files, and sensitive information that remain on your device unless you opt to back them up or sync them. Private Data is never uploaded without opt-in.
  • Device & Technical Data: Browser details, OS information, device identifiers, IP address, session identifiers, geographic location (if enabled), connection speed, error logs, cookies, and other technical data used for security, diagnostics, and performance.

3. How We Use Your Data

If you opt to back up contacts or other data, we may use them internally to:

  • Improve platform functionality, recommendations, and user experience.
  • Generate anonymous statistics to analyze engagement and improve community features.
  • Train AI models for enhancements such as moderation, translation, dialog systems, and automated support.
  • We will never share this data with third parties unless legally required or explicitly authorized by you.

We also use aggregated or anonymized data to:

  • Identify usage trends and security threats.
  • Enhance discovery, matching, feed ranking, and personalization.
  • Diagnose bugs, crashes, or performance issues.

4. Data Control & Privacy Settings

  • 🔒 Controlled Content: You choose who can access your non-public content. Access is strictly governed by permissions.
  • 👁 Contact Data: Your contacts remain on your device unless you opt to sync. Synced contacts are used internally for matching and communication features but are never sold or shared.
  • Notifications & Preferences: You may opt out of notifications or communication at any time. We do not send spam.
  • Community-Controlled Hosting: Some Qbix-powered communities host their own servers. Their administrators may set additional rules consistent with this policy.

5. Third-Party Integrations & External Services

  • If you integrate with Telegram, your data is subject to both our policies and Telegram’s terms. Telegram may provide us your Telegram user ID, language, and profile information as part of the Mini App or bot workflow.
  • If you use features provided by services such as Google OAuth, Google Maps, YouTube embeds, Apple Sign-In, Instagram embeds, those services may collect or receive data under their own privacy policies.
  • When Qbix widgets are embedded on third-party sites, those sites may apply their own analytics or cookies, beyond our control.
  • We do not control how third-party platforms handle your data once shared externally.

6. Web Beacons, Cookies, & Tracking Technologies

  • Our services may use cookies, web beacons, LocalStorage, CSRF tokens, and other tracking technologies to authenticate sessions, protect accounts, personalize features, and analyze performance.
  • Cookies help with login persistence, UI settings, and security (including protection against CSRF, spam, and abuse).
  • You may control or disable cookies through your browser settings, but certain features may not function without them.

7. Data Retention & Security Measures

  • We implement encryption, access controls, rate limits, and regular security audits to safeguard data.
  • Your data is stored only as long as necessary for providing services or meeting legal requirements.
  • You may request account deletion, contact deletion, or data removal at any time.
  • Private device-resident data (e.g., contacts, messages) is never transmitted unless you authorize backup or sync.
  • Some Qbix-powered servers may be operated by independent community hosts. They are contractually required to follow equivalent security practices.

8. Legal Compliance & Disclosures

  • Your data may be disclosed in response to valid legal obligations such as subpoenas or court orders.
  • We may disclose data if necessary to protect our rights, users, or comply with regulations.
  • We do not sell user data to advertisers or third parties.
